Nissan testing a subscription service for their rental fleet

Nissan plans to launch a subscription service that will allow drivers to switch to a different car as often as every day.

The program, named "Nissan Switch," is scheduled to launch in the Houston area as a test run.

Under the program, a user has to pay a $495 joining fee after which they can choose from two tiers, "Select" and "Premium," at $699 and $899 a month, respectively.

The Select tier will offer models like mid-sized sedans and crossovers, while the Premium offering includes full-sized sedans and SUVs. The subscription includes "unlimited switches as often as a new vehicle each day," along with delivery, cleaning, insurance, roadside assistance, and regular maintenance.

Andrew Tavi, Nissan's vice president of external affairs, said, "For those who want a sedan during the week and an SUV or sports car, like the GTR, on the weekends, Nissan Switch provides the solution."

He noted however, the GTR will be available for an extra $100 per day for a maximum of seven days.
